It seems these genome projects were the brain-child of eugenicists - and their interests in DNA and genomes were brought up here – Should Gibraltar joining the UK Genome Sequencing Consortium (COG-UK) be a red flag?

Now, how might this science be used for evil?
Pharmacogenomics, or the study of how genetics affect your body’s response to medications, is a relatively new and exciting field of science. Scientists are learning more each day about how genetic testing can be used to select the best medication for patients. Genetic testing can help a doctor determine whether a medication will be effective for a patient and provide dosing guidance. It can also help alert clincians to medications that might be potentially harmful to patients – Pharmacogenomics: DNA Testing for Medication Work.
